“Our strength is that we are backed by the CNN network and we take advantage of that support and that family bond, to be able to bring out the best for our audience in Spanish, in addition to what we originally produced,” said Cynthia Hudson, SVP and managing director of CNN en Español and Hispanic Strategy for CNN/USA.

Siempre, Luis debuts on Sunday, June 20th at 7pm.
